I've run across an alternate reading for a surname cited in the baptism of Anna Rumph on 26 Jan 1757. Father David Rumph's brother Peter (d. 1761) married Catherine, the widow of an unspecified Knore near Four Holes, in 1746. I would expect that Frederick "Thore" is her Knore/Knorr brother-in-law. I haven't run
across any land or will references to people named Knorr, but that's a more likely name than Thore. Happy New Year! - Harriet Imrey

Jeff Friday: 1735 Switzer Petition - Joop, please post on your website..and enjoy
Harriet Imrey: re the arrival of the ship William deals with what happened with its passengers, doesn't actually state the date of arrival! But passenger Jakob Gallmann said that it got there "the 7th day of Hornung 1735th year". Per British/Julian reckoning, that was 27 Jan 1734/5.

Joop,
Most likely what you're seeing is that someone else with Sobig.F has sent a copy of it to AOL -- unfortunately, a lot of very poorly configured email systems will "bounce" the virus to the forged sender and not to the person who is actually infected (or throw it away).
Unfortunately there is nothing to do against it

Wedel: The Smith ancestor on this website (George Schmidt/Smith) is the son of Anna Marie Wedel who traveled with her from Germany in 1752. Endely: The John Endeley (current day Antley/Antilley) on this website is our ancestor who traveled here from Germany with his son George and daughter Catheriner in 1752. Thanks, Jim Antley
